i am good how is master green
Well it's obvious that it didn't come from temple isn't cerebus ;)
Yes, that much is obvious. Which is why I'm asking for the less obvious answer of where DID he learn it from? I know who MY instructors learned it from, and who THEIR instructor learned it from (our school teaches Northern Shaolin, Hsing-I, Tai Chi & Bagua). Who did Sin learn it from?
I would guess both. Unless, of course maybe Sin The taught that form to Cheng Man Ching. Anything is possible right?Quote:

I think we are talking about two different tai chi forms. I have no idea where either was taught, but I know that Sin the was teaching 64 (or 37 or whatever) llong before he taugth 24. No one is claiming that he taugth it to CMC.
He is doing fantastic. I was just at his cabin the other day.Quote:

Well the Tai Chi 24 form is the modern Wushu short-form based on Yang style which was created by a Wushu committee in the....50s, I think. The 64/ 37 form (37 postures, several of them repeated, for a total of 64) was created by Cheng Man Ching in Taiwan (don't recall the specific date).
I'm just wondering how they got into the SD curriculum. They've been available through books for decades. I suspect that's where Sin learned them.
Go away for a while, come back and there's another huge SD thread. Some things never change :)
That's fine ... I can link the postures .. I can show you if you need to know.Quote:

Thanks but that's ok.Quote:

When I play Taiji, I'm working on the Yang 108.
" the famous Yang Cheng-Fu (1883-1936) who is also known as Yang Chao-Chin. TheQuote:

Yang style really gained widespread popularity because of the teaching of
Yang Cheng-Fu, the family members teaching in southern China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan, and the many fine students of Yang Cheng-Fu."
"Cheng Man-ch'ing Chronology -1938 Created the 37 Posture Short Form while in Hunan
So it looks like Yang style was being taught throughout southern China early on. It is even concievable that one of Master Sin's teachers or collegues picked it up during that time and didn't have to wait till it came out in "paperback".
Also just watched a chip of CMC's short form and while most of the moves are close, there are a lot of differences.
PS. Just announced that we will be getting "Hsing I Pang Loong Chen"
Entwine the Dragon 2-edge sword. Yeahhhh!!!!!!!!!
Is that the March seminar material? Or some special 5th degree thing that us peons can't hope to attain.
